Chapter Twenty-Four: Turning Dragons into Tigers

The potter's tirade was very laborious, and after he finished speaking, he felt thirsty himself, so he directly took a sip and drank it again.

After drinking, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, but found that Kong Ling was staring at him intently, his eyes full of deep incomprehension and confusion.

It is a kind of dilated eyes, and people with this kind of eyes generally have only two situations: one is to die...... The second is that it has Alzheimer's.

The potter was uncomfortable by Kong Ling's gaze, coughed in a low voice, and said to relieve the embarrassment: "Uncle Shi, you look at me like this...... What do you think of the little nephew's appearance? ”

Kong Ling seemed to come back to her senses a little: "It's okay." ”

The potter was a little unhappy.

The old eyes are dizzy, you deserve to be beaten by Sun Jian, what do you mean by okay? It's very handsome, okay.

"Virtuous nephew, the three points you just said...... I feel, a little, a little...... What is the best word to describe it? ”

The potter said respectfully, "It's a bit of a, isn't it?" ”

Kong Ling didn't speak, but his flickering expression clearly said it all...... Approval!!

The potter pondered for a moment and patiently continued to explain to Kong Ling: "Uncle Shi, in human nature, there are two purest things, do you know what they are? ”

Kong Ling stroked his beard and replied with a smile: "Of course the old man knows, one is called loyalty, and the other is called righteousness. ”

The potter shook his head, it's really tiring to talk to this kind of person, and he is stupid...... Sure enough, there is still a generation gap of more than 1,800 years.

"Uncle Shi, you're not right, there are two things in human nature: one is called greed, and the other is called fear."

Kong Ling's face suddenly became confused: "What's the matter?" ”

Playing the piano to the cow is another Mi Fang.

Too lazy to explain so much to Kong Ling, the potter continued to explain: "If we want to achieve the three points that Shicai said, we must stimulate Sun Jian's greed, once Sun Jian shows his greedy nature, then Yuan Shu will feel fear in his bones!" ”

Kong Ling really couldn't help it, and couldn't help but pat the table and said, "Virtuous nephew, can you say something...... What can the old man understand? ”

"Okay, then I'll be simple and straightforward." The potter also felt that he couldn't fight with Kong Ling, he just thought that this old man was a little stupid, but now he realized that he had used the wrong word......

It's not that the word 'stupid' is misused, the wrong word is 'dip'...... "Dip a lot" should be used.

"If you want to survive the current crisis, first of all, Uncle Shi must believe in me unconditionally."

Kong Ling patted her chest and said, "That's nature, we're allies!" ”

"Okay." The potter nodded and said, "First of all, Sun Jian asked us for 100,000 stones of grain and grass, he 50,000 stones, Yuan Shu 50,000 stones...... Ask Uncle Shi to get him 200,000 stones! ”

Kong Ling's face sank suddenly.

"You said this outside the city, but the old man didn't understand it...... When I asked for food and grass, either Sun Jian made it difficult for me, or Yuan Shu conspired with him to make it difficult for me...... The old man has doubled with them, isn't it an enemy? Why did the old man do this? ”

The potter stood up, looked around, and then walked to Kong Ling's side, put his head to his ear, and whispered.

"Surrounded by wolves, the danger is at stake, Uncle Shi is now a wolf! Reluctant to children, how can wolves take the bait? ”

Kong Ling: "............"

*********************************

Three days later, Kong Ling's 200,000 stone grain and grass were delivered to Sun Jian's camping place as promised.

On the head of Yang Zhai's city, watching the truckloads of grain being transported into Sun Jian's camp, Kong Ling's old eyes couldn't help but have two tears.

"Uncle Shi is distressed?" The potter stood behind him and asked with concern.

Kong Ling sighed for a long time: "I regret that I shouldn't be the assassin of Yuzhou, and I regret that I shouldn't be in this Dong Alliance!" ”

The potter was embarrassed to say directly, if you don't have the history of Yuzhou Thorn, these 100,000 stones of grain and grass have nothing to do with you...... If you don't join the Dong Alliance, maybe you will be directly killed by Sun Jian a few months earlier.

But the people were heartbroken there, and the potter was afraid of Kong Ling's mood at the moment, so he didn't say it in his heart...... These days, there is a lot to talk about...... Hurting people.

At this time, Mi Fang hurried behind the potter and said in a low voice: "Childe, the person who leaked the news of Kong Tingshi's funding of our army to Sun Jian has found out. ”

The last time Sun Jian said to his face that Kong Ling had sent food and ordnance to the potters, the potters thought it was strange...... How could Sun Jian know about this so quickly?

The potter turned his head and said, "Who?" ”

Mi Fang smiled yin and said, "Wu Zhao! ”

The potter was a little confused when he heard this: "Who is Wu Zhao?" ”

Mi Fang hurriedly said: "Hey, you are quite forgetful!" It's the same Captain Wu who was scolded by you with dozens of military sticks before we sent out the troops! The one who claims to be Cao Bao's personal lieutenant! You killed the chickens and made an example. ”

"Oh!" When the potter heard this, he suddenly said: "As soon as you say this, I remembered that it is the ...... I helped you use to establish your authority before we sent out the army."

Mi Fang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "What do you mean to give me Liwei?" Weidu made you stand ...... The money is also for you to spend, and it is still mine! ”

The potter smiled lightly and patted Mi Fang's shoulder: "Don't be so stingy!" This time you found out the spy, the first achievement, go back to my father, promise to give you a high-ranking official position! ”

Mi Fang snorted and muttered, "You yourself are not even an official, and you still protect me......"

When the potter heard this, he couldn't wait to give him a kick...... This kid is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!

"By the way, what should I do with that Captain Wu, do you want me to ...... him" Speaking of this, Mi Fang made a cutting gesture with her hands.

The potter shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it may be useful to keep him in the future, just pay more attention to him in the future...... Don't worry, someone will solve his ...... for us in the future It's not my style to deal with my own people, I'm a gentleman. ”

Mi Fang squinted at the potter, shook his head and sighed.

The potter turned his head to look at Kong Ling and asked, "History of Kong Thorn, Yingchuan is a place where famous families are located, and private learning is everywhere, can there be famous people in the world under your subordinates?" The kind that is particularly influential? ”

Kong Ling hadn't recovered from the grief and indignation of losing 200,000 stones of grain and grass at the moment, and sobbed when she heard this: "What do you want to do?" ”

The potter said slowly: "I need someone who is qualified enough to go to Yuan Shu to be a lobbyist!" ”

Kong Ling raised her sleeve to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sighed: "There is a person who is very suitable for ......."

*******************************************

In Sun Jian's camp outside the city, Kong Ling's envoy was reporting to Sun Jian the number of grain and trucks.

Sun Jian listened expressionlessly, and casually said to the messenger: "Go back and thank you for your family's history of hole stabbing on behalf of Sun." ”

Then he ignored the messenger and turned and walked into his tent.

Behind Sun Jian, a group of cronies and generals rushed in.

Among all the people, Huang Gai's temperament was the most fiery and straightforward, and as soon as he entered the handsome tent, he said to Sun Jian: "Congratulations to the general!" Congratulations to General Hee! 200,000 stone grain and grass! That Kong Ling was really frightened by you, and actually did such a self-defeating thing! Haha, this time to march to Luoyang, in a few months, our army will no longer worry about food and grass. ”

Sun Jian snorted coldly and said, "Kong Ling, scare him and do such a shameful thing...... is really spineless, how can such a person be worthy of being the lord of a state? ”

On the next side, Zu Mao, one of the four fierce generals under Sun Jian, also said: "Who said it wasn't!" The general will reprimand him again tomorrow and bluff him, but I'm afraid that he will even have to offer the entire Yangzhai City with both hands! ”

When the words fell, everyone in the tent burst into laughter.

Only one person is calm.

Cheng Pu suddenly asked, "Lord, how much grain should be sent over there by Yuan Shu?" ”

Sun Jian said unhurriedly: "I have already explained to Yuan Shu a while ago that when I arrive in Yingchuan, I will ask for 50,000 stone grain and grass with him, which can be regarded as a congratulatory gift for him to settle in Nanyang County...... Now that this matter has been completed, he sent someone to send 50,000 stone grain and grass to Luyang to fund Yuan Gong. ”

Cheng Pu frowned, and faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart.

"Lord, Kong Ling sent 200,000 stones of grain, and we only sent 50,000 to Yuan Shu, isn't it a bit too ......?"

Sun Jian waved his hand and said, "The 200,000 stones of grain and grass were sent by Kong Ling on his own, and it was not Sun Mouqiang who asked him for it...... Besides, our army is on an expedition and urgently needs food supplies! In this conquest of Dong Zhuo, among the princes, our army must be the front! All departments should also put our army first! Yuan Gong Gao saw it, how could he not know the reason. ”

Cheng Pu still felt that something was wrong, and he wanted to speak again, but when he saw Sun Jian waving his hand, he didn't want to listen anymore.

Cheng Pu sighed secretly in his heart.

As the lord, everything is good...... It's just a little stubborn, once you decide something, you can't listen to the advice of others.

This problem seems to be not big, but once something happens in the future, it is easy to cause a catastrophe...... Hopefully, it's your own worries.

**********************************

Lushan, eighteen miles southwest of Luyang, where Yuan Shu's army is stationed at this moment.

Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are arranged in accordance with the Xuanwu and crane wing formations, facing five battalions, standing seven villages on their backs, and the whole camp is in a ring shape Gong guards the main general of the Chinese army.

Inside the tent, there were four braziers, and red coals were burning in them.

A thin man in silver armor and a red brocade robe was closing his eyes on the wooden collapse, his appearance was extremely handsome, although he was past middle age, he still looked personable, and his skin was as white and tender as that of a twenty-odd person, even better than a woman.

Because of the good maintenance and handsome appearance, it makes people feel a little hypocritical, but today, no one will despise this person because of this handsome appearance.

After the famous family of the fourth world and the three princes, the son of Sikong Yuan Feng, one of the three elders, and the post of the rear general under Jiuqing! These auras that ordinary people can't get contaminated with in a few lifetimes, Yuan Shu has them all in less than forty......

During the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, the courage to burn the Nine Dragon Gate of Nangong was decisive! Now there is the ambition to divide the south of the Yangtze River!

With these, at least among the current people in the world, no one dares to underestimate Yuan Shu, and Dong Zhuo does not dare.

At this time, Yuan Shu leaned on the soft couch, his eyes were slightly blind, as if he was dozing, and in front of him, there was a tall middle-aged scribe, so neat, neither humble nor arrogant.

This person is the lobbyist sent by Kong Ling, who has just entered Yuan Shu's handsome tent.

"Your Excellency is Kong Ling's messenger?"

After a while, Yuan Shu opened his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a fine light in his eyes, which looked quite gloomy, like an eagle falcon, which made people feel jealous.

"Yes." The messenger's voice was uneven and powerful.

Yuan Shu raised his head and looked at the appearance of the envoy,

The moment he saw the envoy's face, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be stunned, this person ...... Looking familiar?

The envoy tidied up his clothes and said, "In Xia Xu Jing, I have seen General Yuan. ”

"Xu Jing?" Yuan Shu's eyes blinked, and he asked tentatively, "Which Xu Jing?" ”

The person who came was neither humble nor arrogant: "Xu Jing, Pingyu of Runan, is now under the command of Kong Ling, the assassin of Yuzhou, and serves as a planner. ”

Yuan Shu straightened up slightly, and looked up and down for a while before he wondered: "Gong Mo is not Runan Xu Shao, Xu Zi will be his brother?" Shang Shulang, who is known for his evaluation of the world's figures...... Xu Wenxiu, Xu Gong? ”

Xu Jing bowed and saluted, and said: "General Yuan doesn't have to be so ashamed of me, Shang Shulang's position is resigned for a long time." ”

"Oops!" Yuan Shu hurriedly stood up, and as soon as he got rid of the arrogance of the right talent, he bowed his hand and said: "In the past, when Duke Xu served in Luoyang, his art was famous for a long time!" It's a pity that when Xu Gong took office in Shangshutai, Yuan was appointed by Henan Yin, who was in charge of the twenty-one counties around Luoyang, and rarely returned to the capital! When Yuan returned to Beijing to serve as the general of the tiger benzhonglang, he met the matter of the party and the ten permanent servants, his identity was embarrassing, it was inconvenient to have too much contact with the minister, and he rarely moved around with Shangshutai, and he had admired the name of Xu Gong for a long time but it was inconvenient to make friends! I can see Xu Gong here today, and I would like to taste it. ”

When the potter persuaded Kong Ling to send 200,000 stone grain and grass to Sun Jian, he also asked Kong Ling to send a messenger to see Yuan Shu, but at the same time, he made a little request for the identity of this envoy, he must be a famous man in the world and a scholar with the ability to observe and lift!

This matter may be difficult to change in other states and counties, but Yingchuan is more handsome, Kong Ling weighed it, and finally weighed Xu Zijiang's brother Xu Jing!
